Your 2 Cents’ Worth for Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2017

Researchers already know what kinds of farm conservation reduce farm pollution. We need action, not more excuses and unjustified boasting about teensy-weensy progress.

— 90% of farmers aren't doing nearly enough

Cars are to bicyclists as bicyclists are to pedestrians.

President Trump, please grow up. As president you make a lot of speeches and give talks to various groups. Stop bragging about your electoral college victory, stop making comments that are out of line and then have your staff later say it was just a joke. Being president is serious business. People are looking for leadership and you joke and tweet things that you should never say. You are your own worst enemy. Be a leader and bring both parties together for the good of the United States.

To the one who wrote "Call a spade a spade": I think most people read your 2 Cents and thought, this person doesn't realize he can farm because they are serving and protecting his freedom. Last time I checked, we veterans weren’t guaranteed a subsidy no matter how poorly we did our job.

With Mexico threatening to ban the import of U.S. corn in response to President Trump's wall, tariffs against Mexico and demeaning comments about Mexico, I wonder how this will help “Make America Great Again.” Hope all the farmers that voted for him are happy with this.

— Still waiting for greatness from Trump

That license plate design the intelligent people are pushing? It has to be a joke. It looks like something a first grader smeared with finger paints. But seriously, my suggested motto for a new license plate design: "Iowa, turn signal optional." Or "Iowa, stop signs only a suggestion."

— Not signaling in Indianola

To "How Does it Feel Now": You do know, I hope, that most "foreign cars" are made in the USA by hard working Americans.

I myself cannot find fault with the Iowa Senate GOP caucus regarding sexual harassment. They were simply following the fine example set by President Donald Trump.

Thank you, thank you to the unknown person who helped police find and arrest the suspect in the Clive trail attack. What a great contrast to the people who know exactly who committed some serious crimes but refuse to cooperate with law enforcement.
